But the escape key is behaving as if > it is a sticky key Did you, outside of Emacs, map the left control key so that it is now the Escape key? In that case what you experience is expected. What do you want, exactly? Do you want a new shortcut key, at the position of the left control key, so you can do new shortcuts with this key as the prefix, i.e, in addition to C-f, M-f, etc. you want to do for example $-f, if we pretend the new key is called $? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
